It's finally happening. The crowd cheers and we how. I finally did it! How I did it I don't know, but I did it. I have pushed myself up to my highest limits and did it, while letting everything free.
it all started on May 7, 2014, in the M.P.R.(multi-purpose room), 3:00 p.m. I signed up for the 5th grade talent show and started practicing with the others (I was quite nervous, to be honest). Practice after practice, the only thought going through my head was, "This is all to conquer my stage fright." I was loving it every second and becoming more confident each practice.
But one day, when the choreographers (Carolyn P, and Sarah C.) said, "You have to do a solo or dance with a partner, maybe four." That almost killed me. "I have to do the, with everybody watching me?!" I asked to myself. So, after trying to find a group to dance with, a group of kids named Daniel, Maggie, and Sean asked me to do it with them. "Of course!" I replied hastily. "At least I don't need to dance by myself," I thought. I got used to it and liked it a lot. When we performed that in practice, I thought that we were pretty good. We tweaked it a little and when it became smoother, I got my confidence back.
It was the day of the talent show, and it had seemed like time had stopped. I could feel my heart pounding. We were all lying on the floor, on top of each other in different directions. I was telling myself and my friends that all would be okay, but I was still worried if I might mess up and ruin it for everybody. And then, it happened. The curtains opened, my eyes shut, and the crowd was cheering for our last performance in 5th grade. This was it. My heart pounds while I over-exaggerate it really happening (I was dancing to Radioactive). I turn around, stand on my knees, and slowly stand up, as if getting used to my body being like that for the first time.
When it was time for our group to dance, I think the audience liked it. "Yes! They liked it!" I screamed in my head. When we were all done, everybody bowed, and I gave a smile. I was very happy and proud about what I had accomplished. I finally conquered my stage fright! My parents loved it and videotaped it for everybody to see it. Finally, I did it!
